- Consolidated first quarter fiscal year 2008 net sales included:
- $36.6 million of net sales from a fiscal year 2007 acquisition in the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment
- Approximately $33 million reduction in net sales due to a change in the price of finished product sold to a customer in EMS segment (The cost of raw material which the Company purchases from this same customer was reduced by the same amount, and therefore, this pricing change had no impact on income from continuing operations.)
- No sales of contract furniture private label products during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 due to a planned exit of this furniture product line, compared to $6.1 million of sales in the same quarter of the prior year
- Refer to the Non-GAAP Net Sales numbers disclosed in the above table which adjust for these three items
- Consolidated first quarter SG&A increased in dollars over the prior year due primarily to the incremental SG&A costs of the fiscal year 2007 acquisition in the EMS segment and increased investments in the Company's Furniture segment sales force. As a percent of sales, SG&A costs declined in the fiscal year 2008 first quarter when compared to the prior year due to the leverage of the higher sales volume.
- Other income in the current year first quarter was favorably impacted by pre-tax income of $1.3 million relating to funds received as part of a Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company's Poland operation. This equated to an after-tax favorable impact to income from continuing operations of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per Class B diluted share.
- Other income in the current year first quarter was negatively impacted by lower pre-tax interest income, which was $0.7 million below the prior year first quarter, resulting from the lower cash and investment balance. Cash and investments were lower primarily due to the fiscal year 2007 acquisition and share repurchases.
- Company share repurchases of 1.7 million Class B shares during the current year first quarter had a minimal impact on diluted earnings per share. The shares were repurchased in the latter half of the quarter and, therefore, did not have a significant impact on the average shares outstanding for the quarter.
Operating cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $17.4 million compared to $17.7 million in the first quarter of last year. The Company's net cash position from an aggregate of cash and short-term investments less short-term borrowings decreased to $56.1 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $80.4 million at June 30, 2007 primarily related to Company share repurchases during the quarter totaling $22.3 million.
James C. Thyen, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, "Our operating income in the first quarter improved compared to the most recent fourth quarter on the expected decline in our SG&A costs from the elevated level in the fourth quarter. We have new products in the pipeline and are regularly evaluating potential acquisitions to aggressively grow our sales. We are working on improving our profits by reducing our total operating costs through targeted lean and other productivity initiatives."

- Fiscal year 2008 first quarter net sales of branded furniture products, which includes office and hospitality furniture, were $155.9 million, an increase of 7.4% compared to the prior year net sales of $145.2 million, due to increased sales in both the office and hospitality furniture industries.
- There were no net sales of contract private label products during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 as the planned exit of this product line is complete. Contract private label product net sales totaled $6.1 million in the prior year first quarter.
- Income from continuing operations was negatively impacted by higher discounting on select office furniture product, competitive pricing pressures in the hospitality industry, and increased investments in the segment's sales force. Price increases on select product partially offset these higher costs.

| Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations | $ 0.8 | ($0.5) | 247.8% |
- EMS segment first quarter fiscal year 2008 net sales included:
- $36.6 million of sales from a fiscal year 2007 acquisition
- Approximately $33 million reduction in sales due to a change in the price of finished product sold to one customer (The cost of raw material which the Company purchases from this same customer was reduced by the same amount, and therefore, this pricing change had no impact on income from continuing operations.)
- Net sales to customers in the medical and industrial controls industries were higher in the first quarter compared to last year while net sales to customers in the automotive industry declined compared to the prior year.
- The increase in earnings in the first quarter compared to the prior year resulted primarily from the funds received as part of the Polish offset credit program mentioned above in the consolidated comments and the higher sales volumes in this segment.
- The Company's new China facility had its first full quarter of production during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This facility is in the process of adding customers and production lines and will continue to operate at a loss until fully ramped up. Start-up losses at the China facility approximated $0.02 per Class B diluted share in the current year first quarter which approximated the impact in the prior year first quarter, but was an improvement from the $0.03 per Class B diluted share impact reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a Company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this release include net sales adjusted for an acquisition, a customer pricing change and contract private label sales; income from continuing operations excluding restructuring charges; and earnings per share from continuing operations excluding restructuring charges. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Financial Highlights table below. For the non-GAAP sales measure, management believes it is useful for investors to easily see the impact of these items on net sales to assist in understanding the sales variance to the first quarter of the prior year. For the income and earnings per share non-GAAP measures, management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without the effects of costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans. Excluding these costs allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company's core operations. Many of the Company's internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude costs associated with executing its restructuring plans to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained within this release are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, significant volume reductions from key contract customers, loss of key customers or suppliers within specific industries, availability or cost of raw materials, increased competitive pricing pressures reflecting excess industry capacities and unexpected integration issues with acquisitions. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company's Form 10-K filing for the period ended June 30, 2007.
